The BTMRR was closed for spring break when we were down at the World. I caught this shot as we were riding the train around the park. Backside of Thunder Mountain Railroad by Harry Shields, on Flickr
"Ladies and gentlemen what you came all the way to Central Florida to see...the backside of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!" hhhmmm not quite the same effect as the water joke. ; Cool pic though! Cant wait until BTMRR reopens - Frontierland is so dead without it!
Even with the ride shut down, that is a pretty cool shot. ; I really like the sky and how the lens bent the rail of the fence. ; Plus it looks like the hog is pestering the train!
The queue shack was all torn apart when I went by. ; Looks like they are doing an EXTENSIVE overhaul.
The rumor was that it's going to get a more interactive queue, but I don't think that would have made heavy demolition necessary. ; I wonder if that means they're also making the queue wheelchair friendly so they don't have to send people through the exit anymore?
Didn't notice any work on the queue when I was there in March - they were busy cleaning up the mountain itself. Will have to check it out Friday night.
